About the time in Fairfax
Fairfax sits at latitude 41.92, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 33m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Fairfax runs on America/Chicago, which puts the city UTC −5 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
Sunrise today lands at 06:23 and sunset at 07:56 local time, giving 13h 33m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (41.92, -91.78) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Fairfax.
